The difference, of course, is that the A380 would roll up with at least four times as many people on board than your average Airtours flight. Even airports like Heathrow are sweating at the thought of having to get that many people on and off a single plane. And that's assuming the plane is configured with the 'typical' 555 seats. They can get well over 800 on board one of those things if they want to.
